Its very cold up here tonight its 0c outside at the moment and proberly going colder in the night. Just wondering those who have there RO systems outside or in boxes outside have u got you heaters on tonight?

Today i went out and bought a small parafin greenhouse heater just to keep the temp above freezing  its working a treat its only a small one on the lowest flame setting and its keeping the box outside at 8c - 6c


As i say its only a small one same as the link below! do any of you guys use this sort of thing for heating there vans on very cold nights?

Your set-up is same as mine.  What lagging do you use for hose ??  Is it standard poly pipe split rapped in waterproof tape??  If so any problems even in very cold nights??

to insulate a garden hose to shed or Ro whatever, i use several 1 meter lengths of foam tubing, you can get it from garden centers... grey stuff with a splitt along it, then just zip tie it around the hose.
